The third and concluding volume of Thom Whigham's trilogy on the Paraguayan War is finally been published. Alas, it is in Spanish, just like the second volume. It is rumored that a single english language volume encompassing the two spanish ones is in the works. Let us hope so. |

V1…English, YES Why the remaining efforts are in Spanish is beyond me! |

It appears that the Spanish versions are selling like hotcakes in South America. The first volume in English didn't do too well, hence the delay. I wish I knew who to write to to DEMAND that the English version come out SOONEST!!!!! My Spanish is terrible; it's a pain reading with a dictionary in one hand. |

I can dog read Spanish/French and to a lesser extent, Italian well enough, but certainly not in a leisurely/relaxing way, so for me to sit and struggle reading spanish text is no fun. I agree, I wish I knew who to write for, because the first volume was pretty killer. |

I was wondering if there was going to be a volume 2 and then a 3. Now I know what happened. |

For Thom Whigham's books: link Also good is Terry Hooker's book: link There are others as well. Weep Grey Bird Weep is good, as is To the Bitter End. |

It's a long walk for you, Dr. Whigham teaches at the University of Georgia. |

"Borders of Blood is a well-presented set of wargames rules, specifically for Wargaming the Parguayan War of 1864 – 1870, dovetailing almost exclusively with the War of Triple Alliance figure range by Perry Miniatures. Rulesets can either offer something so intriguing, inspiring, or unique that they cause you to venture into a new period – think SAGA, Sharp Practice, or Frostgrave – or they offer a service to gamers who are already ‘into' a period or conflict. Borders of Blood is definitely a solid entrant in this latter category." Joe Smalley review on Wargames Illustrated link |
